This week's Los Angeles Auto Show will mark the return of the legendary Dodge Charger Daytona. Available in R/T and R/T Road & Track trim levels, it will become the most affordable V8-powered car in the U.S.

The Daytona package features a Satin Black front grille, custom vinyl hood graphic, roof wrap, rear R/T spoiler and ''DAYTONA'' graphic on the rear quarter panels, as well as exclusive 20'' five-spoke polished aluminum wheels with Gloss Black painted pockets. Paint options include Daytona Blue, Bright White, Billet Silver, and Pitch Black.

Inside, buyers will find heated and ventilated seats in unique black performance Nappa leather and suede with Daytona Blue stitching and piping along with an 8.4'' Uconnect touchscreen interface and Mopar pedals.

''With its 370 horsepower HEMI V8, rear-wheel drive and iconic design, the 2013 Dodge Charger is a modern day muscle car, and the new Charger Daytona takes it to a new level by paying homage to the historic Daytona nameplate,'' said Dodge president and CEO Reid Bigland.

The 2013 Dodge Charger Daytona is set to arrive in U.S. showrooms in the first quarter of 2013 at $32,990 US for the R/T model and $36,495 US for the R/T Road & Track model. Only 2,500 units will be produced, each one sporting a serialized plaque.

Canadian availability has yet to be determined.
